INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SITE REQUIREMENTS
1. FLUE AND CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
1.1 The chimney or flue system must comply with the rules in
force and must be a minimum of 127mm in diameter. (5").
1.2 The minimum effect height of the flue or chimney must be 3
metres (10ft). Any horizontal flue run from the rear outlet
should not exceed 100mm from the back of the appliance.
1.3 The chimney or flue must be free from any obstruction. Any
damper plates should be removed or secured in the fully
open position and no restrictor plates should be fitted.
1.4 The chimney should be swept prior to the installation of the
appliance. However, where it can be seen that the chimney
is clean and unobstructed throughout its entire length, it
need not be swept.
NOTE: If it is intended to fit the stove into a existing brick
built chimney without a closure plate, a 5" (127mm) liner
must be used. Larger lined flues may work, but in some
instances could cause cold start flue problems resulting in
nuisance shutdown. Lined flues above 7" (175mm) are not
recommended.
Due to recent changes to European chimney standards, new
flues and chimneys are now described by their temperature,
pressure and resistance to corrosion, condensation and fire.
To assist in identifying the correct flue system, the minimum
flue specification is shown in the technical specification of
this book. Existing chimneys are not covered by this system.
NOTE: THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT APPROVED FOR
CLOSURE PLATE INSTALLATIONS
2. VENTILATION
2.1 Consult the rules in force.
Note: This appliance does not normally require any
additional ventilation when installed in G.B.
3. INSTALLATION OF THE GAS SUPPLY
3.1 Before installation, ensure that the local distribution
conditions (identification of the type of gas and pressure)
and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
3.2 Ensure that the gas supply is capable of delivering the
required amount of gas and is in accordance with the rules
in force.
3.3 Soft copper tubing and soft soldered joints can be used but
must not be closer than 50mm to the base of the tray.
3.4 A means of isolating the gas supply to the appliance must be
provided independent of any appliance control.
3.5 All supply gas pipes must be purged of any debris that may
have entered prior to connection to the appliance.
4. APPLIANCE LOCATION
4.1 This appliance must stand on a non-combustible hearth that
is at least 12mm thick, and project a minimum of 50mm
from the base of the stove in all directions. The minimum
dimensions are shown in diagram 1.
4.2 This appliance must not be installed in a room that contains
a bath or shower.
4.3 This stove is not suitable for installation against a
combustible wall; all combustible materials must be
removed from the area behind the stove.
4.4 Ensure that all minimum clearances to combusible materials
are complied with. See diagram 2.
NOTE: IN A NON-COMBUSTIBLE RECESS
ATTENTION MUST BE GIVEN TO ALLOWING
